Where do I even start. The lobby was cluttered with junk and had nothing in place. The room had weathered furniture, flooring, appliances, and chairs that should’ve been well on their way out. Keep in mind, there was only one other car so our hotel room was most likely one of the better ones. The bathroom was halfway done in their renovation but just got left, with bugs everywhere diving in between cracks. The breakfast was something else, with old orange juice and not much to offer. The outdoor area and location was the only positive of this experience. With the pricing, use this as a last resort to stay.

Hidden Gem

This is a hidden gem out here in the Austin hills. The suite looks and feels like an apartment with an amazing view of the rolling hills. You get a living room, real dining table and a cute little kitchen space. Bed and pillows were comfortable and the shower was super nice. Glad I found this place. Will definitely make it my Togo place when In Austin.

The door was hard to open and close. The door knobs on the bathroom were loose. The iron wouldn’t get hot for me to press my pants. The housekeeping staff was efficient. The front desk personnel was not available when I checked out.

It’s was the best for the price, remote was not very clean, the items are somewhat outdated and one room had the fridge taken so only one room had one, even then for what it was we went ahead and stayed, old places have old smells- so for the night was good
